While working as a ranch hand, John Edward Borein realized his potential as an artist of the American frontier. After a stint as a cowboy in northern Santa Barbara, Borein returned to his hometown of Oakland, California, where he enrolled in art school. Although he did not finish his formal training, he did continue to travel the frontier and sketch his experiences. His art often appeared in popular magazines, such as Harper’s, Collier’s and Western World, before he settled permanently in Santa Barbara and had a notable career as a fine artist.
Lady Anne Yule (1874-1950), a member of the prominent British colonial family who founded the trading company Andrew Yule & Co., Ltd., was likely drawn to California through her involvement with the British film industry. It was in Santa Barbara that Lady Yule became acquainted with Edward Borein. The well-established painter and engraver, together with his wife Lucile, developed a close friendship with Lady Yule, who eventually built a studio and home for the couple at her home on El Cielito Road in Santa Barbara. Charros In Mission Courtyard was likely acquired by or gifted to Lady Yule at some point during this time.
